Chuck, While I can’t comment on the winged-keel version specifically, I’ve had my 1990 C&C 37+ for 13 years now (the Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34) and can’t say enough about how wonderful a boat it is. SAILING She’s responsive, points well and can handle heavier wind and chop better than pretty much any other boat in her class. For cruising, I find the 135% jib to be perfect in just about every wind range - never overpowered and can easily hit 7.2 knots (or, as we say on my boat, Warp 7.2) on the jib alone (Pic). Once you get the boat, if it doesn’t already have one, I would suggest installing a “Stack Pack” system for the main (Pic1 | Pic 2) as, without one, getting the main up or down, especially in a breeze, can be a multi-person job between the flaking and sail ties (Pic). ACCOMODATIONS She is simply a cruiser’s dream. The biggest complaint I’ve heard about monohulls is that it feels like you’re in a basement. Not true with the 37/40 series. It’s light, airy and very comfortable. The V-berth forward cabin in spacious with LOTS of storage, the main cabin bright, has great ventilation, and between the starboard-side u-shaped seating (Pic), the port-side bench seating (Pic), the nav table and the L-shaped galley, you won’t be bumping into each other. The head is bigger than some cruise-ship bathrooms with a separate enclosed shower stall (with seat too!) and that aft cabin with the centerline island queen bed is just phenomenal (Pic). She will be the envy of all your friends and, if you’re lucky, you may get a white-bearded C&C 30 MkII owner come aboard and say things like “I f-in hate you” and who tells other C&C’ers “Don’t go back there” when they start inching towards your aft cabin. MAINTENANCE What’s better on a boat than doing projects and customizing? I’m often amazed at how much access there is to wiring and other systems. And engine access is on three-sides (some have added a fourth side hatch in their head) making engine work pretty easy with less blood-covered knuckles. Some additional under-sail (racing) photos (Pic1 | Pic2 | Pic 3 | Pic 4) Seriously, it’s such an amazing boat that, even after 25 years, the designer can’t help but stare (Pic) Feel free to contact me off list should you need any specific info or insights. All the best, Edd Edd M.

I'm wondering if y'all have opinions/wisdom to share about the basic C&C 37/40? Wing keel...5'3" draft specifically. Might be time for my son to take over my 35-3 if I can find the right boat.
